FRONTIERS OF THE MIND
We have been told that this is a war.net so much of territorial frontiers as of the frontiers of the mind. And that is true, says the Listener, of London. What we defend in the British Isles is the right of all men to live the kind of lives they want to live, instead of having to live them under the baleful gaze of Plimmier and his spies. Our cause is that of all mankind, and in that sense the battle of England will be the battle of the world. But abstractions' to most of us need interpretation, and in this case the internretation will not. we suspect, be very far to seek. They are those familiar features of our land which are the outward symbols of all that we are fighting for —the village church where we are frep to worship, the school where our children are taught the best that is in us to 'each, the assembly hall where a man can speak his mind—these well-known sights may themselves become the centre of the battle.
